Pakistan made it to the semifinal!! After all hope was lost for the Pakistani cricket team when they lost the key match against New Zealand (by one run), they miraculously managed to get to the semi-finals. They overcame South Africa with the captain Shahid Afridi finally coming into form (30 runs off of 18 Balls), as well as Saeed Ajmal (4 wickets) and the Akmal brothers (Kamran and Umar made 37 and 51 respectfully) finally making their presence felt in this year's tournament. That wasn't all though; Their win would have been useless if England had not beaten New Zealand later on. If New Zealand had won, then Pakistan would have been taking the next flight home. It was nothing short of a miracle that Pakistan has everything going it's way. It's a blessing from a higher power that got the green shirts through. Being unpredictable, Pakistan's chances in the semis can't be determined but their performance throughout this year's tournament has been disappointing (winning 2 out of 5 matches). But as one can see, skill is not the only thing that is needed in cricket ;) God bless the Pakistani cricket team and God bless Pakistan. I wish them the best in the semis. =)
